The primary influence of climate on the distribution of species is through its effects on environmental conditions such as temperature, precipitation, and seasonal variation. Different species have adapted to specific climatic zones, which dictate their survival and reproductive success. For instance, warmer temperatures may favor tropical species, while colder climates support Arctic flora and fauna. Climate is also a driving factor in habitat formation and ecosystem types. As climate changes due to global warming, the shifts in species distribution may lead to new ecological dynamics and challenges for biodiversity conservation.
